Perlier Intensive Nurturing Body Balm - 6.7 oz

Birchbox Breakdown

When it comes to an everyday lotion, we're always on the hunt for a formula that gives us maximum hydration for minimum effort: no dry skin, and no waiting around (or rerubbing in) while a greasy product absorbs. Enter these fast-absorbing lotions from Italian skincare brand Perlier. They smooth into skin instantly, so we have more time to spend enjoying their nourishing benefits and getting on with our dayand less time hoping we won't stick to our clothes. Each natural formula carries additional skincare benefits. White Almond, loaded with white almond oil and sweet almond milk, infuses skin with fatty acids and vitamin E to help boost elasticity and improve tone. Shea Almond (with a base of organic shea butter) delivers intense hydration, shields skin against damage, and soothes skin after sun exposure or waxing. And Shea Lavender (with shea butter and lavender extract) works to soften and moisturize even extradry skin.

Greasy and too smelly

This lotion leaves my hands really shiny and greasy for quite a while after applying it. Also the lavender scent is much too strong for my taste. While it works well on winter dried hands, the slow absorption rate and strong smell kind of ruin it for me.

Smooth

I received this sample in box a few months ago and just tried it. It has a nice light scent and leaves your skin feeling moisturized but not at all greasy. I used it on my hands and they feel fantastic. I'm thinking of keeping this bad boy in my purse for those on the go moisturizing needs.

mmmm

it smells awesome. and is creamy and moisturizing without being greasy. I wish the sample size had been larger, but the packaging is beautiful. This product does exactly what it says it does, which is great.
